Notes

4ply stash buster!

Need another sofa project and another cosy blanket! Enjoyed garter squish first time around and working with small amounts of 4ply (advent socks), so…

Added HUGE benefit of clearing out sock yarn stash!

4 strands together… No great plan to colour scheme… Started with 4 shades of blue/multi blue. Think I’ll work a variety of widths for stripes and maybe try and alternate dark and light shades?

9mm and 4 strands and my loose tension gives a bouncy light fabric.

775g in weight, used other leftovers in stash too
